Happy Halloween!

Hello everyone! It's Halloween, a great time of year, and we're gonna celebrate tonight by eating lots of candy! At least, that's my plan. As you can see, Lulu started early by trying to eat Mami's devil trident. She thought it was cinnamon, but it's only sequins.
Mami is a roller derby girl today at work for Halloween. Tomorrow is our big party, and she's gonna be something different, I can't remember what, but it's political or something. I don't pay attention to that sort of thing.
Anyway, be safe, don't feed chocolate to your dogs, and don't run over any hobgoblins. Cheers!

Fresh burst of sunshine

Well I didn't think it was possible, but yesterday was positively warm out! Mami opened all the windows and it was like 70 degrees and sunny most of the day. We still stayed inside cause we had lots and lots of chores to work on, but I stationed myself near one of the windows and Lulu did the same. It was so fresh and nice outside! And the leaves were drifting all around and everyone was out and about to bark at.
Sometimes Lulu and I get grumpy when its winter and we're all bunched up inside, as you can see from this old picture. So a nice break with some fresh air does us good.

Sweet slumbers

Mami and Papi have both felt run down lately, which means they go to sleep a lot earlier, and sometimes, I get to climb in with them! It's so nice and snuggly, especially now that the days are colder, and my little bed isn't as cosy as the big bed. And even if I don't get the whole night, I get up there every morning with Papi for a little morning nap. It's heaven!

Autumnal walkies

Mami got home before dark tonight so we took a little walk to look at all the trees in the neighborhood, because they are all turning pretty shades of red and yellow and orange. It was really nice out tonight and everybody was out walking around and enjoying the evening.
I had a lot of good leaf sniffing and exploring and some message leaving, but sometimes I'd run too far on the leash and Mami would get mad because her photos would come out blurry when I jerked on the line and made her fall over. I'm strong for a 6-pounder.
We even discovered a neat alley we had never explored before that let us see into other people's back gardens. It was so cool. I was a little scared because it was kinda overgrown but Mami said it was safe so I went ahead.
Now it's cold and I had my evening biscuit so it's time for a nap.

Another dog blog

Wow, Mami just showed me this dog blog that I've never seen before, and one of the dog's names is Emma! And another is a Chihuahua! It's really interesting. I think these dogs live in Tejas, where my choodle brothers and sisters live. You guys should check it out!

Ears

Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. I got another bout of yeastie ears, so every morning Mami has had to take time to put medicine in, which means she hasn't had time to help me blog. Sunday we finally got through the medication and so now I'm feeling a lot better and less itchy, and she has a teeny bit more time to help me out. So hurrah for ears!

Yikes!

So this weekend Mami and Papi took a shopping trip down south, and came back home with a new pair of shoes for Mami. Only these shoes are very scary and dangerous. Did you know there are shoes with WHEELS on them? Big fat wheels that make you fly around the floor really fast?
I was terrified. I have never seen such things before, and here Mami was, rolling back and forth on the living room floor. So I hid under the coffee table until she was done. I don't like them at all. I think wheels belong outside, where my tail can't get caught.

A cat walks into a bar...

It has gotten really cold here this week. Mami brought the lemon tree into the house to keep it warm, and she put away all the lawn furniture and covered the shed with a tarp to get ready for winter.
Last night it was so cold that when Mami got home from her roller derby fundaiser, she caught Lulu and I sleeping next to each other on the couch. I was embarrassed.
The best way to stay warm is to find a lap. Sometimes Papi lets me sit on him when he's reading things on-line, and then I get to hear him read me things like funny jokes, or watch little movies and things. It's really fun. And warm. Sometimes Lulu wants to share a lap too, but she has to wait her turn because I don't give up laps very easily.

Kisses

I just can't get enough kisses. Even when I'm not feeling really great or I'm tired from a long day, I find them irresistible. Especially Papi, because his beard is always full of tasty things, so I kiss him after dinner to enjoy whatever it is he's eaten. Last night it was plantains and black beans. Yum yum!
I try to kiss Mami too but she's very wiggly and it's hard to get her, but I'm good at attacking Papi. He never wins!

Lulu complains

So it's cold now. Very cold. And rainy. Always dripping all over the place. But Mami won't turn on the heat. She says it's not nearly that cold out, especially for those wearing fur pants (meaning me) so I just have to wait. Which means I have to get really snuggly when they're home, to stay warm, but that means shoving that little Emma pig off Mami's lap, and then there's a fight. It's not really worth it. She tried to take my nose off the other day but luckily my nose is very small and she missed. But it hurt my feelings all the same.
I wish they'd just turn on that heat!
